Sony Ericsson K750i Review

The Sony Ericsson K750i gives fantastic power imaging & brilliant picture quality. The K750i is a very thin & light mobile phone with a really great built in 2 mega pixel digital camera complete with fitted lens cover. Sony Ericsson are hitting the top end of the market with the K750i & it is available in two colours which are oxidized black or blasted silver.

The TFT colour screen is an excellent quality screen & offers fantastic display results. The many features of the K750i include high quality video recording, RDS FM radio, text messaging (SMS), multimedia message service (MMS), digital music player, polyphonic & MP3 ring tones, memory stick expansion, downloadable games & preloaded games.

The PlayNow™ feature allows the user to download music easily & quickly from the Internet. The MusicDJ™ feature offers the user the freedom to create their personal melodies, which can be great fun & gives a personal feel to the mobile phone.

The phone comes complete with image management PC software which assists the user with editing photos, adding effects, creating email & creating a photo album.

The K750i is a simular phone to the Sony Ericsson K600i & Sony Ericsson K608i, but the K750i has a slightly more compact feel to it & the features are of a slightly higher quality.

The Sony Ericsson K750i is defiantly an amasing mobile phone & offers the user so much freedom & fun with many good features that are highly usable.

This has been the best phone I have ever used. This phone has everything you need & more; it's fantastic & it's a tank.

I've had this phone since the summer of 2006 & it's the best purchase I have ever made. This phone has everything, including a light. You may ask yourself, that's stupid on a phone, when will I ever use it? It's actually helped me out on more than one occasion. Say you're walking down a dark staircase & the lights don't work or you can't find the switch? You're looking at a map while walking in the dark? It's situations like these that you don't really realize how useful a light would be.

Texting takes two clicks, you move left on the joystick & push down. That's one more than a Nokia, wow. It's not the prettiest phone, but it's not ugly either. Address book is fantastic. You add a birthday under a contact, & it automatically asks you to add it do the calendar, at which point it reminds you of the upcoming birthday, which is amazing for me since I would sadly never remember a birthday. Why can't Nokia's do that? At least my Nokia 6267 can't.

The menus are amazing as well, super intuitive. The camera's not amazing, but if you need an in focus shot then it's good enough. The keys are a bit small, but one can get used to them. I regularly text under my desk or in my coat pocket, just glancing before sending to see if it's correct. Years of practice it seems. In my messages counter I have 5550 sent text messages, 59 sent picture messages, 34.40.56 total call time. You could say I text a lot :) No problems with the keys either.

Music player isn't impressive, but it does what it's supposed to. The phone has fallen out of my jacket several times, the screen has a huge gouge across it, a friend tried to take it apart to clean behind the screen & rounded the screws doing so (dust does get under the screen, but with the right torx (? ) screwdriver it's super easy to open up & clean), so now the phone's halves don't hold together tightly, I've actually thrown it at the wall after being fed up with the irritating tennis game that's included, I've texted in rain with drops splashing over it, it's been everywhere with me. I use it as my alarm. I basically use it all the time for everything, it's my lifeline to the world. This thing is damaged beyond belief, & it still works great, save for the joystick, which has begun to stick a bit recently. It's not terrible you just have to push a bit firmer.

Like I mentioned earlier, I bought a new Nokia 6267 since I wanted to upgrade & everyone shouts how amazing Nokia's are. I don't like them. I am sure they're fantastic phones, but I am used to Sony & can't get used to it. It's the little things. Now I am trying to sell it & buy a new case for my K750.

I suppose if you've been with a brand for a long time, stick with it. If you're used to Nokia's, stick with them, likewise for Sony Ericsson. I don't doubt Nokia's are fantastic phones, but they're just not right for me. I know the menu layout of my phone from memory. I can access the themes menu in about a second (Menu 7 4).

If you're not loyal to one brand, try this phone!

Hey, I've had this phone for 2 years now, & I think it is the best phone I have ever had.

I love the phone but I have had many problems, such as the camera not being able to take photos & the shell of the phone falling apart. Another slight problem is the fact that it decides to turn itself off, but it does not really bother me because I do not use the phone a lot for normal use, only for music & photos.

All in all, the k750i is a legend of all camera phones.

Most of the people used to complain about the joystick, true but not in my case. I am using this phone for more than a year so far I haven't had any problem. When I start listening to the music I can play them for at least 12 hours leaving 30% battery power after that. So far I had taken 2000 photos using this amazing camera. Excellent clarity with auto-focus enabled me printing on A4 size. I am enjoying with the phone. The photo studio in Chennai (Kodak) appreciated the quality of my photographs. Excellent media player with MegaBass & excellent FM radio reception. I love this phone. It was recommended by a friend to me. Now I am recommending to others.

The best phone I ever had, it really fits well in your hand, the battery is just great, the MP3 player function has great sound quality, & it's easy to make several playlist for every possible mood. For those of you who didn't know, it also plays MP4 video files, which has a higher video quality than 3GP. I've used it even to watch entire movies whilst on the bus e.t.c, a full length movie takes about 120 to 140Mb, which is nothing really if you have a 1Gb memory stick. The camera is equally great, one of the best I've seen in a mobile phone, second only to the K810i. Mine's running on 2½ years, not a single problem ever. Plays almost every Java game there is, even with 3D graphics. I can't find a single negative thing about it really, I wish I had bought two of them so I'd have a spare one when this one eventually has to retire.

Oh, one negative thing. It doesn't allow memory sticks larger than 1Gb. It would be nice to use like a 4Gb memory stick with it.

I have had this one for nearly 2 years now & unlike some I can say that I haven't had problems with the joystick whatsoever (just care for your phone to those who had problems with it).

The camera on this is brilliant, & pictures come out with superb quality due to the focus.

The features on this are above average & the battery life is way above average.

I will definitely not be throwing this phone away any time soon.

My Friend Dropped It on Some Grass & the Screen Cracked as It Was On at the Time, When It Is ON Only a quarter Of the Screen Works. I Almost Cried.

The Best Phone I Have Ever Owned!

Although This Is an Old Release by Sony Ericsson It Rivals Any Modern phone. The Interface Is So Simple & Easy To Use. The Camera Is Fantastic, Great Flash Which Can Also Be Used As A Flashlight, Brilliant Sound Quality From Music Player. Extremely Durable & Almost indestructible. I Must Have Dropped This Phone Over 1000 Times On To Concrete & Still Works Perfectly. Looking To Purchase Another One As Its Appearance Is In A Bad State.

BUY THIS PHONE!

This is the kind of phone Sony should continue making, it's very reliable & takes very reasonable pictures. Mine had a 1GB memory card which was great for countless songs & photos. Finally battered & bruised it so much became embarrassing & got a w610i about a year ago which is also a well priced good all rounder from Sony. However I have just ordered a new k850i which looks great on paper but after reading countless negative reviews am beginning to fear I have made the wrong decision & will once more be firing up my trusty K750i when the k850i touch screen gets a speck of dust on it!

I have had this phone for a year & a half now & I really like it. It is very easy to use & has good features like radio & music player. Lots of useful shortcuts & very easy to use. Only problems I have had are the camera no longer works & the back always comes off because it has worn out. Then again it does get dropped often & has never properly broken! Very sturdy & well built. Also it is quite slow but overall an excellent phone.

I have had this phone over a year & it only broke once because I dropped it too much. I have had it since Christmas last year & up until about November I did not want a new one but the camera broke & I did not want it being sent away again so I left it. I had the w580i but I have gone back to the k750i.

All the features are brilliant & the torch is very handy. After a while the back becomes loose & comes off every so often. But otherwise it's brilliant.

What a phone! Absolutely brilliant I have had it for 3yrs & now have a Nokia 6500 classic (mistake). Dropped in a river, dropped on the floor, left it out side in the winter STILL WORKED. There is a good picture quality with a decent video recorder in good light. The MP3 player is outstanding with an equaliser that can be manually adjusted to give out maximum sound or there are preset ones to choose from. I am now going to buy the k750i again & sell my Nokia.

Well, after 2 & a half years I have had to replace my K750i with another mobile phone (ended up with W910i price & style & function compromise & what's with the new stylish buttons, round, & line like? ) which is sleeker yes, but just not as good, maybe I am just used to the K750?

Yes, my phone has had its moment like rebooting every now & then when you didn't expect it, & the fact that it crashed now & again & you had to take the battery out & turn it back on to get it working, the clock stopped, so you could tell when it had.

But, this was just part of life, & there were so many benefits against these few negatives, a few out of many.

- the automatic recognition of the camera when you opened the shutter even when the phone is locked (there is no shutter on my new one, scared I'll scratch the probably cheaper & less quality lens).

- the fact there is a light you can switch on if you need a torch (drains the battery a bit, but what do you expect), or even have it on flashing SOS if you need it (I never used it but hey it's good to know you have it).

- I never had any problems with the joystick.

- I dropped it so many times, & it still worked for a long time.

- I took all my pictures of the V2005 & V2007 festivals, & they were better than my compact camera, & easier & quicker to use, auto focus was great but you still need to hold the camera fairly steady, like any camera.

The ability to listen to radio or music, maybe no folders available but at least you could just go to the music menu & play & shuffle without having to worry if you want to listen by genre, year, artist, album etc.

All in all I was very happy with my phone, & considered upgrading, but thought no, so I bought myself a nice large 4GB memory card to have lots of songs etc on it & use it more to its full capacity, but 2 hours after doing this, the phone crashed (as it does sometimes), so I took the battery out as usual then couldn't turn it back on, & haven't been able to since even with another charged battery.

So I am torn between the loss of my old lovely, I am used to it, phone, & the new love of the new phone, even though it has a lack of features comparatively, & new ones to learn!

I've had this phone on an 18 month contract as was the k700i that preceded it, both good solid performers. The 750 is a great everyday usable phone that does all you could want from a phone, if you need much more & you should really be reassessing your life. The one gripe is that the silly toggle button in the middle that controls most of the phone wears out within 12 months, as it did on the 700, not much good on an 18 month contract.

Otherwise great.

One of the best for the price. Great camera & sounds. Packed with everything I wanted no more, no less. However I feel that maximum sound volume isn't enough & the sound quality is not good as newer phones (no. It's not bad).

Great battery life! Once fully charged my battery usually stays for 6 to 7 days. Never crashed. What's more to expect from a non 3G phone?

I had this phone around 18 months ago & it was OK. The after a couple of weeks the problems kicked in. First of all the little round piece next to the slide camera broke off & the phone began to do lots of things that I didn't want it to do. A lot of dust & allsorts managed to get behind the screen & I couldn't get into it to clean it. One morning when I got up I went to grab my uniform & the phone was underneath the uniform & it went plunging into a bucket of bleach. I brought it out after being in the water for around 15 seconds & it seemed to work OK. I played some music & made a call, & when I was speaking the phone began to vibrate & the LCD began to flash & it would not stop. The phone went off & didn't come back on. I came home & it worked. After that I had to buy a new sim pack because the water had got to the terminals on the SIM (LUCKILY IT WASN'T the SIM READER)& ever since, the phone never worked properly & it was vibrating & the backlight kept going out I eventually gave up with it & put it in a cupboard.

I had this phone for about 6 months & I would really recommend it, well depending on age. If all you want it for is calling texting & maybe for the odd photo then it's great, but if you're a phone maniac don't GET IT! It scratches too easily turns off randomly & the cameras can take photos without you knowing!

The Sony Ericsson k750i is a great phone. It may not match the greatness of the latest phones worth £150 plus, but it has never let me down, & from all the phones I have bought, this is the easiest to use. I have dropped it about 50 times, & I still have no problem with it.

It has all the functions you'd need, & for around £70, it is really worth it. If you are looking to buy a phone under £100, buy this phone.

I bought the phone as an import when they first came out 2.5 yrs ago. I think the phone is great.

OK, yes I had the joystick repaired within 8 months, under warranty, it came back within 4 days, I couldn't fault the repair company. Since then (& I've had the phone for 2.5 years) I've had no problems with the joystick. Yes, occasionally it turns it's self off, but it's rare.

The camera has decided not to work, so it's back to Kuhne & Nagel for repair. The pictures are good, & I like the ease of just opening the lens & the phone recognises the camera mode straight away.

Overall I am really happy with the phone & I WON'T be changing the phone unless the camera can't be repaired.

This phone is very very good I have had it for over a year now & no problems what so ever it has loads of features that OK some of them are a bit hard to find but if you read the manual. By the way I have not had any problems with the joystick it's actually really good with one of the flying games I got with it.

The only real bad thing with it is (being very picking) is the music player has no filling system, but that don't really matter.

Another great thing with it is when your in a call you can put it on speaker phone & play a game & things like that I mean how cool is that!

Good, basic & solid phone. The early ones seem to be built more solidly though as I bought a red one which looks cheaper than the black older one. However the camera is awful. Very slow shutter speed & VGA quality, grainy photos. Forget using it to take indoor photos. If photos are your main reason then choose a pricier, newer phone. Recommended unless you want a decent camera!

In my opinion, one of the best phones I have ever had. I dropped this phone down the toilet recently & was lucky enough that it worked. I cannot imagine another phone being as durable as this one. I have dropped it also several times, it appears indestructible. Brilliant features. I use a 1G memory card which stores plenty of music & info etc. Good games, Tennis one of my favourite. Downloaded Sudoku as well works brilliantly. Easy to manage tones & music with PC. All in all fantastic little phone, good battery life, seems to last ages.

This phone is awesome. I've had it for around 16 months now & it's still excellent. The camera freeze's every now & again & so does the screen but you can live with it. I am considering getting a new phone for Christmas but only because I want a newer model. I am sticking with a Sony Ericsson phone though because this phone has lasted me so much longer than my last two which were Samsung & Nokia's. The camera is brilliant & it's so easy to use. Some people have said the joystick has broken but mine is still in full use. I want a W580i or a S500i but I have read the reviews on those phones & a lot have said that the keys crack. Does anyone know if they have fixed that problem? Anyway I would advise anyone to get the K750i as it is an excellent phone & mines still working brilliantly when I have accidently dropped it several times. The keypad is easy to use once you get used to it & it is good how when you open the camera cover it goes straight to your camera so you don't have to use the navigation to find your camera. Better stop talking now (: Bye!

Brilliant Phone. Got it 2 years ago & it's still working great. Crashes a few times, but does not bother me at all. I think the reason why people are having problems with this phone & I have had very little if any. Is the fact that mine was made in Sweden. You get phones made in China or India which are poor quality & are not reliable. It's how they save money.

I really do like this phone. I think that the scroll button in the middle was hard to use at first but when you get used to it is just fine. I have had a problem where the scroll button would not work & would go very weird, but this never really happens & it doesn't happen for a long time. The battery life I really like. I kept the phone on my desk & it was still on 4 days later. The one thing that does annoy me about phone are, the buttons. The buttons on this phone were in easy reach of my thumb but it does ache a bit after a while but that is probably my fingers. The price of this phone was a reasonable price. I like the idea of turning the phone sideways to take a picture. I have a 1GB Memory sick duo & it works fine but sometimes it freezes when I take it out & put it in but I suppose it has to. It generally looks & is an easy to use device for entertainment & business use. I am really impressed with this phone!

For a phone that's 2 years old! It is still better than many phones coming out to this day. If you want a Top Notch Mobile, get the Sony Ericsson K750i.

Bought a K750i when it first came out & I am so glad it came with a 2 year warrantee. I had 3 replacements & all have broken in some way. The joystick design is useless after a few months & my camera stopped working about 6 months ago.

Also the battery case doesn't stay on & the phone resets when I put in a larger memory card. Also if I try to connect it to a PC, again it crashes then resets. This is expensive, modern technology, why does it always go wrong? (so Sony will make more money when you have to buy a new one).

Reviewer: Aritra - Kolkata, India

I've been using this phone for some time & I can say only one thing- I LOVE IT! It has amazing price to features ratio. I really like its classy looks. I have the oxidised black one & I found no problems with the design. In fact I was a bit surprised at its small size (though at 21mm thickness I won't call it slim). The keypad is good, & the joy stick is excellent. Don't know why so many people complain about it. The joy stick is responsive & easy to use (though you have to protect it from dust & humidity at any cost). The short cut keys at the side are quite easy to use. The casing is well built & strong enough to withstand a few drops on the floor. The most outstanding part of the design is the camera lens cover & camera shutter button. The brushed aluminium lens cover looks good & protects the camera as also the back of the camera from scratches. However, one design flaw that I found is the new fast port. I would have liked more if it had separate ports for charging & head phone connector, especially it would have been great if the head phone connector was at the top like in some Motorola phones. & moreover the fast port plug pins are somewhat delicate. As for the display (256k cool), it's very good, its bright, clear, sharp & doesn't fade away in sunlight. But at 176x220 pixels I won't call it small but could be a bit bigger if you like to enjoy videos. As for the menu interface, it's very easy to use & user friendly even if you are new to Sony Ericsson. Now the feature I enjoy most- the media player. Sound quality through the provided headphone is excellent. It's loud & clear. The media player has almost all the necessary features- equaliser (oh yes, it has megabass! ), playlist management, pause, fast forward etc. Music management may not be as user friendly as in Walkman phones, but definitely has all the features including megabass. You can also upgrade to a Walkman headphone. Sound through loud speaker is of pretty good quality, but I think it could be a bit louder & now for its most outstanding feature- the camera. At 2 mega pixels it may not raise too many eye brows nowadays with the market flooded with 2 mp cam phones, but it's the quality of the camera & its user friendliness that makes it special. Just sliding open the lens cover brings the cam to life even if keypad is locked. & yes its auto focus mechanism is amazing. I was surprised to find it in a phone cam. Picture quality is of course excellent. But you must have a steady hand to get clear pictures since I found the cam a bit slow. Battery life is again excellent, it lasts for 3 days with moderate use (though fiddling with its features, especially camera drains battery quickly). One thing missing in this phone is EDGE, not that I miss it very much but some other people may really miss it. Overall I must say its multimedia features are outstanding, especially at the price it comes. It combines the camera of a cyber shot phone & music capabilities of a Walkman phone all in one small pack. That too at an amazing price. Like everything, it is not perfect, but not too far from it either. K750i ROCKS!

Lost my phone & so I had no choice but to get another. I had wanted to get the LG chocolate but decided on this instead. I didn't want to spend a bomb so I got this phone. A pretty good basic phone. Camera is good - images are quite sharp & clear. The volume for ringtones are not bad too. I don't know about the joystick though because I've only had it a few days.

Only negative thing I would say is the design. Not sleek, kind of bulky looking. Not a slim phone. Other than that it's all good.

Hi People. Well I had this phone now for a couple of months. I just wanted to say. Design aspect I look for a slimmer phone. But this phone is good. It's got everything on there. Nothing has started to play up except the cover has been discolouring due to the holiday I been on, I guess the Cyprus heat hasn't done a great deal! I have seen in the past reviews that the batteries aren't good. I would agree with my past experience, Nokia is the best company for mobiles & long lasting batteries. But Sony Ericsson hasn't yet showed any bad signs. Fingers crossed they won't either!

If you're looking for a phone to get through a daily life I would advice this one, got a bit more to it. Maybe a bit complex texting as it as 'predictive texting' but you can turn that off, I would advice for the buyer to be good with phones before getting this one or a newer model. Good luck & hope you have no problems (if you do I can't help).

Always do loads of research before buying a mobile, even if it's an old one. Read loads of reviews & ask people who have them, even if it's someone off the street walking & talking. I guess students these days will give honest opinions about them (I am one myself).Good luck. Take care. Kind Regards!
